FAPE vs. LRE: What's the Difference in Special Education?


FAPE and LRE: Two important rights every special education parent should understand!

Karen and her guest discuss two major issues that frequently arise in special education disputes: Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) and Least Restrictive Environment (LRE).

FAPE focuses on providing an appropriate education and necessary services, while LRE addresses where and how students with disabilities receive their education alongside peers without disabilities.

Both play an important role in IEP decisions!

Parents, remember: It's not just about WHAT services your child receives, but also WHERE those services are provided!
